"CodeBeamer provides full traceability, excellent collaboration, regulatory compliance, and instant reporting with its holistic approach from requirement management to testing."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"Codebeamer's API-based integration and many other integration aspects with other solutions are very powerful."
"One of the most valuable features of Codebeamer is its strong performance."

"Produces good reports and has a great traceability feature."
"The ability to integrate this solution with other applications is helpful. If there is automation, it comes with improved quality and speed."
"It's easy to create defects and easy to sync them up with a developer. Immediately, once created, it will trigger an email to the developer and we'll start a conversation with the developer regarding the requirements that have not been matched."
"Quality management, project management from a QA perspective - testing, defect management, how testing relates back to requirements."

"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"Usability needs to be improved."
"If the solution could create a lighter, more flexible tool with more adaptability to new methodologies such as agile, it would be great."
"HP-QC does not support Agile. It is designed for Waterfall. This is the number one issue that we're facing right now, which is why we want to look for another tool. We're a pharmaceutical services company, so we require electronic signatures in a tool, but this functionality isn't available in HP-QC. We don't have 21 CFR, Part 11, electronic signatures, and we need compliant electronic signatures. Some of the ALM tools can toggle between tabular format and document format for requirements, but the same feature is not available in this solution. There is also no concept of base-lining or versioning. It doesn't exist."
"It needs Pure-FTPd WebUI and single sign-on."
"We operate in Sweden, and there are not so many Swedish people that know the product."
"The solution needs to offer support for Agile. Currently, ALM only supports Waterfall."
"The session timeout time needs to be longer in my opinion."
"The Agile methodology is now being used across all the organizations, but in this solution, we don't have a dashboard like Jira. In Jira, you can move your product backlogs from one space to another and see the progress, that is, whether a backlog is in the development stage or testing stage. Micro Focus ALM Quality Center does not have this feature. It is typically very straightforward. You just execute the test cases from it, and you just make them pass, fail, or whatever. They can also improve its integration with Jira. The browser support needs to be improved in this because it supports only Internet Explorer as of now. It does not have support for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or any other browser. There are also some performance issues in it. Let's say that you are doing the testing, and you found something and are logging the defect. When you try to attach several or multiple screenshots with the defect, it slows down, which is a very common problem people face. I would like them to include a functionality where I am able to see the reports across all the projects. When you have multiple projects, being a manager, I would like to see the reports across all the projects. Currently, there is no single sign-on through which we can get all the information at one place. You need to log into it project-wise. If you have ten projects, you can't view the information in one dashboard."
"ALM Quality Center could be improved with more techniques to manage Agile processes."
